New Life Online 264 Navigator

*Scy's POV*

"Well, I'm certainly a notorious girl but why would I join your shenanigans?" Rejecting my invitation, huh. Well, that's the answer I expected from someone like her.

"I heard you tried to sail the uncharted sea and failed at the end. I'm trying to find something very precious to me and I think, I will find it there." I will risk everything to find them.

"And you think that I will just help you because you have a stupid plan? The sea in this world is different from ours and it's far worse. If you die when you're on a s.h.i.+p or in the water, you will resp.a.w.n back here on land. We've spent a month trying to reach the end but it's a dead end. Go home kid." I can tell that she really has experience and I want that experience on my team. We will be needing her and I will make sure that she won't say no to me.

"Everyone has a reason for not doing the same thing and try again. But I can give you another reason to." I grabbed something from my back.

*COINS SOUNDS* I showed her a large bag and dropped it to the ground making sweet sounds telling them that it contains gold coins that can support not only their life in the game but also their whole life in real life.

"Holy sh*t, Boss! That's.. that's a lot of gold!" The annoying one was surprised after seeing it. (Bench)

"That's three thousand gold coins. This is all yours when you can guide us and reach the island I'm looking for and another three thousand gold coins after we return back here, dead or alive." I tried to buy her service for gold and I don't think that anyone can walk away with that kind of offer.

"Haha. After showing us this kind of money, do you think that you can get our of here alive?" She's trying to intimidate us. The way she talks, I can tell that she's really a smart type of woman but if she's really smart, then she will accept my offer.

"Money isn't really that much important to us you know..."

"Uhmmm... it is important, Scy..." Elou interrupted me...

"Shhh... I'm saying something here." I signaled him to shut up.

"Well, if you really want to try and get it, you could but you are going to say goodbye to the other half of our proposed gold. Also, we came here for your service but if you really want to try, then I guess I will have to give you another reason to come with us, even without limbs." We took our disguise down and showed them who we are.

"No wonder you're this rich. I heard that you also made a deal with my friend, Two Teeth, and he's really happy about it. He's with me when we traveled the sea and you might want to ask for his service too." She's still talking but I tried to say something.

"Wait... that's a different deal. This time, I'm not trying to rent your service, I'm trying to buy you." I said without hints of doubts.

"Hah! You're telling me that you want me to be part of your guild and be your subordinate? I don't partic.i.p.ate in lousy events like tournaments but let me tell you that if you dare say that again, I will slice you and your friends into tiny little pieces." Her intimidation won't work against me. Even the Frozen King can't scare me.

"Then I guess I will teach you how to respect your soon-to-be leader." I grinned and then...

*BAAAAAAAAAM!* She dashed towards me and she tried to slice me with her sword from the front but I was able to block it so easily with my dagger. A powerful shockwave knocked back everything.

"Don't worry, Scy. I got the money." Elou grabbed the large bag of gold as the force of her attack pushed it away.

I can tell by her expression that she didn't expect me to block her attack so easily.

*SWOOOOOOs.h.!.+* Then she used a fast jab trying to target my face while our blades are still trying to push each other. I was able to dodge it by moving my head but...

*BAAAAAAM!* I've sensed a fast kick coming from the side of my head and so I blocked it with my other arm.

*BAAAAAAM!* Awwww! A headb.u.t.t! Her attacks are just random and it's hard to keep track of because she attacks nonstop using every available part of her body or weapons.

*BAAAAAAM * And there you go! I also hit her with my head and it kinda hurts.

"Awww!" She held her forehead and trying to rub it because of the pain.

"Don't touch him, Boss! He can paralyze you." One of her friends informed her.

"HAAAH!" She once again rushed towards me trying to target my lower body with her sword but I was able to block her attacks with my dagger and then she swiftly sidestep behind me trying to attack me in my blind spot but I did it on purpose.

*SWOOOOOs.h.!.+* I bent my body forward and as I expected, she was targeting my head but she missed after what I've done.

"Your back is open!" She said and then tried to stab my defenseless back with her dagger.

*BAAAAAAM!* She hit me on the back but...

"Haha! Wait, what the h.e.l.l?!" Her weapon got stuck after it nailed to my hard s.h.i.+eld. She tried to pull it but it was too late.

"HEAVY KICK!" I swiftly turned around and launched a heavy kick midair hitting her. She stopped holding her weapon and tried to block my attack with both of her arms but it was so powerful that she was knocked down.

And before she could even do anything, my dagger is already ready to cut her throat.

"So, this is my last warning. Come with us and be part of our little guild as my navigator or I will cut your arms and legs and display you to our s.h.i.+p." Now that's how you intimidate someone.

"You're a sick monster. *Sighs* Ok, fine. I'm sure you won't even leave me alone so what's the point of saying no. I'll still want the freaking gold." She finally agreed to my terms and then I offered her my hand to help her and she accepted.

"Got ya!" She said after holding my hand and then she hugged my arms with both of her hands and legs. She' going to knock me down while trying to break my arm... Now, back on teaching her a lesson...

*BZZZZZZT*...

In just one zap, she's out cold.

-After a while-

"Finally you're awake." She just regained consciousness together with her friends, all tied up together.

"You even tied me up and my guys, we won't go anywhere, I swear this time." I removed all their weapons and Lili used light prison so I'm sure no one can escape.

"I salute your friends for not running away, though. But for now, I will bring you all to my guild first as prisoners because I don't want you guys running away like crazy." I can tell by their faces that they're not happy.

"If they leave me here alone, I'll hunt them down. If you're going to kill us, kill them first. At least let me have some fun." What a thing to say in front of her friends.

"I knew you'd say that boss. Haha." Another one said. (Reiza)

"No time for that. Get up, we need to go." I said and so they stood up and then walked together with us. We'll be walking so it will take a bit time reaching the guild.

Then I heard footsteps nearby and from the sound of it, they're in a group and wearing heavy armors because of it being so loud.

*WEAPON UNSHEATHING SOUNDS* And so they finally showed up and readied their weapons.

"Stop moving! State your business or we'll be forced to..." The guard said but...

"Help! Mr. Guard, please help us! They're going to molest us!" The notorious girl isn't just only notorious for her doing but also because of her bad acting.

"Oh... you again... And Sir Scythus, it's an honor to see you here!" He removed his helmet and then bowed to me... It looks like I got my respect back from the Vanguards.

"No need to be formal. We just need some wild animals to eat for dinner. You don't mind me capturing some, do you?" I replied and I showed him the prisoners.

"Of course, we don't mind. Those animals you just caught are just headaches around here. Thank G.o.d, someone will finally eat them. Please have fun with your barbecue party, Sir!" And so he just bowed and then turned around and walked away with his comrades.

"What a nice guy. Now I'm hungry. Haha!" I said and then laughed.

"Tsk..." The notorious girl let out a sigh of dismay while her friends are starting to get nervous.

-Life Guild-

We finally arrived back to our small village and before we could enter the gate, Leion showed up and I think he got a report for us.

"Leion, got some news for us?" Elou greeted him and asked.

"Well, we've got some visitors just the time you headed out and their leader said they want to talk to you. I think they're planning to join our guild. He said he needs some work." He reported.

"And who might their leader be?" I asked.

"His name is Two Teeth, Scy."

"Well, I guess you'll meet your friend soon." I looked at the notorious girl and then smiled.

"If I see that guy again, I'll skin his face alive and wear it." It sounds like they're really friends.
